This event was held at Dalby forest and was the North Yorkshire Schools Cross Country finals. This was the culmination of several rounds covering all North Yorkshire Schools.
Jacob Reeday ran in year 6 boys and had a storming run. He was well clear coming out of the woods, finished way ahead of the rest of the field and winning in amazing style. What a way to win a final.
Lucille Pickles and Chloe Boothman ran in the year 6 girls. Lucille had a great run and was 4th coming out of the woods, but she got pipped by a couple of other runners and finished 6th. Chloe had a really strong run, finishing somewhere mid field.
Jack Villiers only started running two years ago and this is his first year as an U15, and this weekend, he had the honour of representing his county in this race. This reflects the hard work and consistent training that he has put in. He finished 198th out of 303 in a time of 21:13.
Jack Villiers is learning the art of running towards the front of the race and following his win last week at Sedbergh, he followed it up this week with a 2nd place behind James Bowen of Ambleside.
